    Abstract: Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for developing, applying, and modifying location-aware purchasing algorithms that facilitate purchases of goods ordered using assistant devices. These purchasing algorithms can intelligently combine orders placed by multiple users to purchase the appropriate good(s) in bulk. Purchasing algorithms can take advantage of several benefits enabled by bulk ordering. For example, a purchasing algorithm may discover that some goods are available at lower prices as the number of items being ordered increases. As another example, a purchasing algorithm may discover that additional savings are available due to the increased efficiency of bulk delivery logistics.
